Chamber and committees

That will be dealt with when we move into private session.

Sandesh Gulhane has a question on this topic.

Thank you. Tess White will ask the final question before we let our panel go.

The final item on our agenda is consideration of two negative instruments.

At its meeting on 20 September, the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee considered SSI 2022/265 and made no recommendations. The purpose of the instrument is to update the list of home grounds for Scottish football clubs for the purposes of schedule 1 of the Sports Grounds and Sporting Events (Designation) (Scotland) Order 2014, as amended in 2022. The changes are required in light of promotions to and relegation from the Scottish football pyramid and to ensure consistency of approach over the application of the alcohol and other controls framework that is set out in the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995. Part II of the act imposes certain restrictions on the sale and consumption of alcohol at designated grounds for designated sporting events.?

No motion to annul has been lodged in relation to the instrument. As members have no comments, do we agree that the committee does not make any?recommendations in relation to this negative?instrument?

Members indicated agreement.

I think that Sandesh Gulhane wanted to ask about cancer treatment waiting times in particular.

Some of my colleagues will ask questions specifically on the workforce. That is a good springboard for that conversation later in the session.

Do any panel members have any comment to make on that, or do they know where we can find out about that?

With that in mind, I will hand over to Emma Harper, who has questions on accident and emergency services.

I do not know whether Alex McMahon wants to respond.

I put that question to Caroline Lamb.
